Thank you. I'll test the nightly.

What API returns the URL for a specific local (including UNC) path?
I couldn't find such a function in svn_client or svn_ra.

I found svn_ra_local__split_URL() in
subversion/libsvn_ra_local/ra_local.h. The URL to local-path conversion
is done in this function. But this is not a public API and also the
result seems to be not visible from client.

In that function, I can see a comment that is saying the form
"file:///\hostname/path" is supported for compatibility with old
working copies.

I made the actual changes by hand, not by simple replace. I did grep
only to find the points to see. But never mind if the patch really
breaks features. I'm sorry about that.
